A Promising Departure.

The result of the preliminary examina-
ton in the case of Lin Ting yesterday
before Justice Post is most gratifying to all
who believe in American manhood, and
respect the guaranteed rights and protec-
ton OF every person, even the most de-
fenseless, within our jurisdiction. 1t is
gratifying, both from the fact that it is a
righteous disposition of an unholy case,
and because it is believed to mark
the turning point in this class of legal pro-
ceedings, in which the paraphernalia of
American law has been shamelessly used
to strike down personal liberty and
fasten the chains of the most abject and
debasing slavery. The summary dismissal
of the case by Justice Post was an act
which does him infinite credit, and will be
a notice to the miserable heather slave
hunters that they will need to go elsewhere
for legal process TO enable them to regain
o possession OF the beings thew
would treat as chatteis and brutes. 1t is
also pleasure to notice the fact that de-
veloped in the examination, that unusual
care had been exercised by the District At
torney, Mr.. Bruner, not to lend his position
to aid any chicane for woman stealing, and
that he had promised the matron of
the Mission Home, from which the
girl was taken by the warrant that
if it proved she was not guilty of the
charge made, he would be personally re-
sponsible and see that she was returned
safely to the care of the matron This is
also promising departure from past ex-
periences in these disgraceful cases. and is
therefore worthy of the prominence here
given.
Now that halt has been called in this
nefarious business, and the public senti-
ment aroused to the enormity and gravity
Of these shameful and unlawful proceed
| ings. let that sentiment be so active and
| pronounced that no attorney of standing
| will dare to lend aid or counsel in future
cases of this kind, and further that will
promptly prosecute and rigldly punish
| any degraded heather who swear to charges
| and attempt it.

ply the nerve of smell for mustard and
pepper. That is why the smell and taste
of these pungent substances are so much
alike, as everybody must have noticed,
go)d sniff at a mustard-pot producing al
most the same irritating effects as an in
cautious mouthful. When one is trying
deliberate experiments on the subject, in
order to test the varying sensitiveness of
the different parts of different substances,
it is necessary to keep the tongue quite dry
in order to isolate the thing you are ex-
perimenting with and prevent its spread
ing to all parts of the mouth together. In
actual practice this result is obtained in
rather ludicrous manner-by blowing
upon the tongue between each experiment
with pair of bellows. To such undigni-

PURSUED BY DEMONS.
A Disordered Brain Causes the Death of
a Efyginian.

NORFOLK (Va.), April 15th.-When the
stateroom of the steamer Virginia, from
Baltimore to Norfolk, occupied last night
by Robert NJ. Gatewood, was opened this
morning his body was found in bed with a
pistol ball in his brain The evidence be-
fore the Coroner showed that he committed
suicide. Young Gatewood was a son of
Rev. Robert Gatewood, of this city, and was
% years of age. he was a graduate from
Annapolis, with high honors as cadet en-
gineer, and made one cruise and resigned.
He studied aud taught physics and cleo
tricity at the Johns Hopkins University.
At the time of his death he was Fourth
Assistant Examiner in the Division of
Steam Engineering of the Patent Office, at
Washington. His mind. which was I'M
commonly brilliant, had become unbal-
anced by intense study, and the writings
he left showed that he imagined himself
pursued by demons, and chose death as
the only escape from them.

ZANzrBAR, April 15th.-A Somah trader

bearing advices from Emin Bey. He was
established-when the trader left-at
Wadelai, north of Albert Nyanza. He had
two small steamers plying on the White
Nile in November, which was four months
later than the advices brought by DR.,
Junker.
Emin Bey visited King Unyoger, who
was six days journey from Uganda. Emin
Bey was accompanied on the journey by
DR.. Vita Hassan, ten Egyptian officers,
three Greeks and tour negroes
Subsequently he asked Muanza, King
of Uganda, to receive him. The King said
he would willingly receive him if he came
without followers. Emin Bey thereupon
went to the King accompanied by DR.. Vita
and three Greeks. He and his companions
remained with the King seventeen days.
Emin asked the King for permission to
pass through his territory towards Zanzi-
bar. The King, upon hearing this request,
ordered the visitors to return the way they
came, and declared he would have nothing
more to do with Europeans.

THE TRADE BOOM.
Business Activity Everywhere, and Money
Unusually Plentiful.

New YORK. April 15th-R G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade, says :
Considering the embarrassment consequent
upon the uncertainty as to freights, ac
counts of trade are surprisingly satisfactory
1t is almost the universal testimony that
the retail trade is unusually large. No en-
barrassment appears in collections, except
where real estate or mining speculation
locks up available means, or in some locali-
ties where bad roads still block business,
but in most cases improvement is reported.
This remarkable activity is clearly con-
nected with an exceedingly plentiful sup
ply of money, which is more abundant
where some need was previously reported,
while at many points-as at Memphis
money was never so abundant before"
Speculation in real estate is rampant in
Colorado, and spreading to cities and towns
Throughout the State, has caused much
locking up of means. In Minnesota and
other Western States land speculation has
" advanced prices wonderfully" Business
casualties are on the decline in every Sec
ton of the country.

CASTLES IN SPAIN.-In France there have
always been numbers of chateaux, or fine
country residences of wealthy gentlemen.
This style of building, explains writer,
is not found in Spain at all, so the. French
adopted the expression, in speaking of the
merely visionary possessions of those who
would be thought rich. that they had
chateaux in Spain. The Chateau d'Es-
payne is simply castle in the air, splen-

ence- These constructions are like the
castles in fairy tales, which are built at a
word by the power of geni or spirit, and at

New YORK, April 15th.-The dispatch

that under the provisions of the interstate

California raisins to compete with those
from Spain, has been the subject of much
discussion in the trade To-day promi-
nent dealer in California raisins said to
your correspondent " This thing is a
shame Here we have just succeeded in
placing California raisins successfully in
the Eastern market. We have even proved
to buyers that we lay raisins down here
cheaper than the foreign fruit. We have
proved the superiority in sizes and flavor
of California raisins, and now, on the
very verge of what would undoubtedly
be successful season, we get a
facer in the shape of the interstate
commerce law. 1t this law holds it will
simply throw the raisin business back into
the hands of Spanish producers. We can
not begin to compete with them with our
freight rates. at 20 cents per box against
their 10-cent rate from Spain to New York.
We had fairly succeeded i'll crowding the

chant. "Why it practically shuts off Cali
fornia's most important products from the
Eastern markets-wines, salmon, prunes,
walnuts, raisins, grapes and oranges. For
the last-named fruit fast shipment by rail
is imperative. If the law, as it stands at
